It was a good weekend here. We had golden autumnal weather, fresh feijoas, new books for the children, embroidery, and a bit of playing with watercolour paints and pencils. These flowers are for you, dear mothers of the world, both future and present, and all of the people who look after others. Thank you!

Feijoas are my favorite fruit ever! My husband planted some last year and we had a small harvest. Love! Now I have to wait until fall for more . . . Your pictures are so beautiful, Melissa!
